Second-place competitor huhino kept pace at 31 games after Xavier Nady singled in five at-bats against Detroit. Also staying alive was jnay017, rustyolson56 and trizzy7, who moved into a three-way tie for third at 30 games, thanks to the reliable hitting of Derek Jeter (2-for-3), Ichiro Suzuki (1-for-6) and Magglio Ordonez (3-for-4), respectively.

With 27 games left to play, these Top 5 competitors are the last with a shot at beating Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game streak.
